Now I've seen everything with the Beast and Chewlee. He wanted to get some new pictures of Chewlee but she didn't really want to pose for him. (Her mother was the same way at the same age!) Anyway, in order to get her to pose for him, he promised her a pickle (or two) if she would do it. And she did.
It was just too funny for words to see how excited she got. She reminded me of a puppy that was going to get a treat if they sat down, quietly. I kid you not, this kid is a pickle addict. THAT also reminds me of her mother. For a gift one time, sister Cee bought the Princess a gallon jar of pickles and, even now, the Princess remembers that gift fondly.
So Chewlee ended up with about four pickles (I think four equals one normal size pickle) for posing for pictures. The Beast says he'll give her all she wants to get her to pose for some decent pictures. He got one that has a very curious effect. The more you look at it, the more you like the effect. It's a kind of little girl sophistication that comes through. Very cute. I'm going to see if I can get the Beast to send it to me so I can post it and you let me know what YOU think.
It was another nice day today that I will have to keep in my memory for when it gets cold here. We don't get a lot of snow during the winter (thankfully) but it gets cold and damp so it goes right down to the bone when it happens. Brrr! I'm not looking forward to that at all.
I did get out to pick some more of the green peppers, the jalapenos and I grabbed up a couple of the green tomatoes that are just perfect to fry up. I've learned to really like fried green tomatoes. Very tasty if done right. The Beast's Aunt M taught me to like them and then how to make them.
Word on Dennis, the Beast's buddy that had his kidney removed due to it failing: He's very weak but recovering. Said the surgery was worse than he would have believed but he's anxious to *get the hell out of here* as fast as possible. Like all men (it seems), he hates being in a hospital. The Beast has kept him laughing (which he says he just hates!) by sending him some funny emails. I know how the Beast can be when he's in the right mood. He has a weird sense of humor. But at least Dennis seems to be on the mend. I don't know why but they were sending him *down* for some more tests but I'm sure we will hear what for and what the results are when he gets the word. The Beast DID take some pictures of the completed barn with the siding and soffits installed so that Dennis could see how it looks now.
He has also sent him pictures of the completed driveway once they had that done AND the mountains of stone that are now dotting his property. The larger one is near the barn. The smaller one that Chewlee loves to climb on is nearer the road. Both of them are on the same side of the driveway. WE can't deal with that contractor but Dennis can and has his phone number so that I am sure he will handle that once he feels up to it.
Well, time to get this posted so I will just say I love you and I wish you a wonderful weekend. Say a little prayer for the poor people in Colorado dealing with an early blizzard. I've seen photos of the mess. Another BRRRR! for them. I just hope it doesn't cause more than driving problems and no one is hurt physically because of it. At least they all deal with bad snowstorms there. If it hit HERE, we would be in deep shit! Totally unprepared. **Wink** Be good!
